When I lost over 30 pounds 2 years ago it required me to change some aspects of my lifestyle. The biggest change was adding breakfast to my daily routine. Eating a big meal in the morning doesn’t sit well with me. No, really. Trying to eat first thing in the morning and then going to work out just made me feel sick. I tried to eat just a piece of fruit, but I quickly learned that I needed protein to get me through a 90 minute workout. Protein bars became my morning time staple.

The problem?

Protein bars are expensive! Especially the kind that are more protein than just granola bar. I quickly learned that I was spending about $30 a week on just protein bars! CRAZY![Read more…]

If you are like me, Super Heroes consume your daily life either because you love them or your kids do. For me, I hit both of them.

This is why the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” movie has been the talk of the household. In this installment we meet a new foe, Electro (Jamie Foxx). Spidey has to try to continue the battle that he struggles with himself, finding the balance between ordinary obligations and the responsibilities of being Spider-Man, and defeating this new powerful enemy.

He also has to deal with his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

So what will happen? You’ll have to head to the theater this Friday and watch for yourself!

You know how some people say that they aren’t a very good singer, but really they aren’t THAT bad? That’s not me.

Even so, that doesn’t change my love for listening to other people sing and nothing is more amazing to me than hearing an acapella group perform. The fact that these voices come together to sound just like the song being played on the radio completely floors me! It’s no surprise that I am a big fan of NBC’s The Sing Off. I actually have a lot of the groups that have competed, (well, the ones I could find) on my work playlist

I think it would be awesome to see the groups perform live don’t you think?

You do?!?
